What kind of feelings?

Dear Everyone,

I’d like to mean ’refined feelings’ or ’delicate feelings’ but it seems these adjectives don’t collocate with this noun and the synonyms I’ve found don’t appear to be proper substitutes, either. Please, could you help me with what adjective I could use to express such a meaning?

(In essence, I think to have such feelings is to be sensitive, but I’d nevertheless need to find the way to say this with this construction.)

Thank you!
